I asked her some questions about her class, some of the lessons and what her room looks like at school.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s a quilter and hangs them in her room at school, I think partially for the geometry of it all.  And she always asks her class &#8220;What&#8217;s the story?&#8221; behind any problem they need to solve.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI combined those ideas with the Quadratic Equation (sadly, one of the only things I can remember from math class) and out came a fun, unique design.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAnother recent request was for a bowling birthday party invite.  Bowling is so iconic that I was excited to design and draw images from the game.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter I drew the pins and a ball, I selected the color palette myself.  The birthday girl had not yet weighed in on her colors.  I went with light pink and fuchsia, thinking of those glow-in-the-dark neon balls at the alley.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bowling-pink111.jpg\" alt=\"bowling-pink1\" title=\"bowling-pink1\" width=\"257\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1947\" \/><br \/>\nThe birthday girl wanted her name in blue and the ball to be yellow.  An easy change to make the design more personal for the customer.  I also shifted the design to landscape.  Here are the final proofs:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bowling-front1.jpg\" alt=\"bowling-front\" title=\"bowling-front\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1938\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bowling-set1.jpg\" alt=\"bowling-set\" title=\"bowling-set\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1939\" \/><br \/>\nHaving two boys, we&#8217;ve been to quite a few bowling parties, so I&#8217;m excited to add this design to my line of invites!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love working on custom designs &#8211; something good always comes out of it.
